Whitehorse Wildland Park - Teeming with wildlife – everything from grizzlies to harlequin ducks – the park features excellent multi-day hiking and camping in the back-country just outside of Hinton. Be sure to see the stunning Upper Whitehorse Creek Falls. Sights include closed forests of lodgepole pine, Englemann Spruce & sub-alpine fir at lower elevations; at higher elevations you'll explore alpine meadows with willow shrubs, lichens & wildflowers.
